Challenging games

[Mitera Nikkou]

I'm bored, so I thought I'd make a topic that mentions and/or discusses games we've played and deem to be difficult.

One game that I thought was difficult was Lagoon, an action/adventure game for the SNES. Aside from magic, the only weapon you get is a sword that is quite literally as small as a toothpick. You have to get very close and personal with enemies to defeat them and, if I remember correctly, you can't use magic against the bosses, which leaves you with said toothpick, so... Yeah.

I managed to get to the final boss, but I could never defeat him. ;/ I may be able to finish the game now, now that I'm older and wiser and all that, but I really don't want to put that kind of effort into it. <_<;

Well, all the old Mega man games always struck me as rather hard--Oh! and Shadow of the Collosus can be tough sometimes--all you have is a sword, and a bow and arrows, and the character or isn't inhumanly strong or anything for once either--the entire game is finding these gigantic creatures, and then doing your best to climb up onto them, and stab at their weak spots...

Actually, I found Mario 64 to be difficult at spots, like the final boss battle. But I haven't played it in... forever, so that might change. I can usually beat a level the second time around.

Another game that I found difficult was Faery Tale Adventure. For one, I never really understood it at the age when I played it. For another, battling was beyond me, for there didn't seem to be a good strategy that prevented death if you had to fight off a group of enemies.

An example, though you can just read the info on the right to get the drift.

But, somehow, I did manage to beat the game, back then. I can't remember how; I just remember the final battle. ;/

Yeah~! Runs away if you aim the bow at it though...~~

It doesn't out tooo bad, but depending on where you go with it, (there's a few important places that you can deviate), Doukutsu Monogatari (Cave Story) can get preeetty tough. ^^ It's a reallyreally good game though--and available for free, legal, translated download, if you haven't played it before, an' wanna take a look~! <3

I have Titan Quest, and you can play either online or a single player without online.

It takes place in Ancient Greece, and you get to head to Sparta, Athens, and Crete to battle the Minotaur in Daedoleas's Labrinth (Icarus's dad was a famous inventor), and then egypt, and Asia. I haven't got as far as the minotaur maze, so defeating him will allow me to come back to Athens a hero!
